This article is about how to get over writers block and some helpful advice. Enjoy!!
Keeping an open mind is the key to getting over writers block. If you keep an open mind you will not go wrong. If you just have to sit down in a quiet space for 1 hour and let your imagination take over then you will be well off. Do not force something that does not come to you. If you force an article you are only leaving room for mistakes to be made and it will not get as much views that you had hoped it to get and it may not be one of the best articles written by you. Just think and brainstorm about what you are going to write about. The articles that I do are already written and all I have to is pick up my journal and type. I have these titles because I had to force myself to come up with interesting things that people would like to read about.
Be sure that you do your research on the topics that you write about. Do not assume on something you really do not know about. I recently read an article and it was talking about the brain and he said that humans use 33 percent of our brain. I commented and said that is not true. Humans only use 3 percent of the brain. Einstein used 7 percent of his brain and the girl in Africa used 9 percent of her brain. Just letting you know to make sure you do your research because nothing is worse than reading someone’s work that has very misleading information.
When I say stay up to date I mean keep up with your current events because you do not want to write about our president winning the election in August. You will leave room for people to criticize and make fun of your work. So Google some topics and make sure you bookmark them and write your opinion on them.
You must make sure that you communicate with people to find out what people like to read about. Go to a blog forum and create an account just to keep in touch with people. You will also get some viewers to read your work! (Check out www.blogcatalog.com) Make sure you stay humble and thank the people who visit your work. For instance if someone reads my work and then they message me to tell me that they read my work, I message back thanking them and I go to one of their articles and I comment back. Set higher expectations and push yourself to the limit if you want to get somewhere and I am not only talking about for writing. If there is a job that you really want you push to get it. Don’t tell yourself “I hope I get this job” because that is leaving room for a hope. Tell yourself “I got this job already” you may not get the job on the first try but you eventually will if you are confident and believe.
Do not stay in your comfort zone. For example if you are a poet, mix it up and write about your favorite meal that you like to make. Take risks and that will bring in a larger crowd. Make a twitter account and write it in a blog so people follow you and you just post articles in the update section. If you decide to make a twitter follow me (dashyeintune) I am telling you this because I want you and everyone else to succeed. You have a dream you chase that bitch down and do not let it slip away. When you make it big and become known give back to the community. It does not even have to be with money. Make a blog and just give tips on how to make it and how you made it to where you are. Last but not least leave a trademark! If you make it big, you are there for a reason and you take advantage of it but positively. Make a website or something positive that people will be able to remember you by. Do not make a name for yourself like “that drunk in the back seat with her private showing” or that “man at the gay beach nude”

Great article with some great tips.I believe if you don’t try to force something it will always come,some of my best stories have come just after the onset of writers block just because I try not to force it,everything comes and works out when it is ready to.I competely agree about writing something off topic,you never know until you try and it may end up ebing the biggest surprise of your life when you realize your really good at the subject you don’t normally write about.

It’s like a door blocking a vibrant fountain of tangible words is what I’d say. I do agree, and this is a well written article.
